Even so, one step from my grave, I believe that cruelty, spite, The powers of darkness will in time, Be crushed by the spirit of light.

The service of philosophy, of speculative culture, towards the human spirit, is to rouse, to startle it to a life of constant and eager observation.

True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

James Gates Percival, American Poet
When younger, I was thin as a rail. As I've grown older, I've put on weight. I have continued to love myself in all those roles. Part of my spirituality, I always tell people, is to accept yourself for who you are.
Troy Perry, American Clergyman (1940-  )
